About Post-Canon
Set after the source material's final page or episode, these stories answer the question every finale leaves behind: and then what? Post-canon fic ranges from epilogue-adjacent vignettes to decades-spanning continuations that become fandom canon themselves.
Endings are where canon stops and fandom refuses to; readers want the wedding after the war, the rebuilding after the finale, and the proof that the characters' lives kept going.
Common scenarios: The crew's first peaceful year after the final battle, or a twenty-years-later check-in on characters last seen as teenagers.
